Moreover, Pappageorge addressed growing concerns related to technology, including a reduction in the number of employees. Unfortunately, not nearly enough,” explained Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union “ I am happy to say we have made more progress than we made in quite a while. He spoke about the importance of financial benefits, including health care, for the whole duration of the new five-year contract. Now, as announced by KTNV, Ted Pappageorge, the lead negotiator for the Culinary Union and secretary-treasurer, progress is made but more needs to be done. Despite the talks, negotiations are slow and tension remains high, especially considering the recent arrest of peaceful protesters. This week, negotiations continued with discussions with Wynn Resorts on Monday.
Last week, leaders of the Union met with Caesars and MGM Resorts.
Ultimately, the Union proposes better conditions for the workers under a new five-year contract. Approximately 60,000 workers from the casino and entertainment vertical, including dealers, bartenders, housekeepers, bellmen and other employees are represented by the Culinary Workers Union. Negotiations between unionized workers across Las Vegas and the three leading casino and entertainment giants, Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts continue.
